We already told you about the bus crash that killed a member of Miley Cyrus' tour crew earlier this morning, and now Miley and her family have spoken out about the fatal accident.
The following message was posted on Miley's official website:
“We are deeply saddened by the loss of Bill “Uncle Bill†Douglas. Members of our tour are like members of our family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family in the midst of this tragedy. He will truly be missed.â€Â
According to a press release, Virginia State Police are still investigating the crash that occurred just after 8AM this morning. The statement reads:
"The bus was traveling in the southbound lanes of I-85 when it ran off the left side of the road and overturned onto its right side. The nine passengers on the bus were able to exit the vehicle through the front windshield. The driver of the bus, William G. Douglas, 53, of Austin, Texas, died at the scene.
Marty Zilio, 48, of Canada, was injured in the crash. Zilio was transported by ambulance to Southside Regional Medical Center in Petersburg for treatment of minor injuries.
The bus belongs to Roberts Brothers Coach Co. and was hired for the Miley Cyrus tour. Those riding on the bus are part of her production crew. It was one of four buses traveling south on I-85 to Greensboro, N.C. Cyrus was not on the bus, nor traveling with the group at the time of the crash.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation at this time."

These two sure look like a happy couple to us!
After other websites reported that Paris Hilton and boyfriend Doug Reinhardt got into a screaming catfight the other night (turns out it was just a noisy houseguest at Doug's pad), X17 photogs caught up with the lovebirds at Beverly Glen country mart.
So what did Miss P have to say about the fight rumors? Click the video below to see for yourself!

Ashlee Simpson stepped off a plane at LAX last night, and the singer/actress looked stunned at the amount of flashbulbs that were going off in her face. She wasn't pulling a Phoebe Price and working it for photogs, but she was still polite enough to give us some good face as she made her way to her car.

Holy vamp this is a big deal!
Summit Entertainment has just announced that New Moon opened with $26.27M in 12:01AM screenings from 3,514 theaters across the country! Sure, that's a lot of seats, but $26 million for ONE showing!? That's incredible!
That's the biggest midnight movie debut ever, beating out previous record holders Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince ($22.2 million) and The Dark Knight ($18.4 million).

Going for the vampire look at the New Moon screening is just so obvious, but we feel like Taylor's trying so hard, she's looking a little less Vampira and more Elvira!
With her boobies pushed up to her chin and in that long black dress with the heavy eye-makeup, all she's missing is the long black wig. Maybe she was just jealous about Dakota Fanning winning the Runaways role and tried to one-up her at Dakota's screening? Well, if so, it was a major fail.
Other celebs like Agyness Deyn also went for the vamp look, but one starlet who looked gorge just exactly as she is was:

Brad Pitt's latest film project will take him into video game territory, as Variety reports that his production company and Reliance Big Entertainment have signed a deal with Capcom to develop a feature film based on the game "Dark Void."
"Dark Void" is about a pilot who crash lands in the Bermuda Triangle and finds himself in "an alternate world resembling a primitive Earth where aliens with superior technology are planning to take over civilization."
Apparently the studios are looking at the computer game as a potential franchise and starring vehicle for Brad, and this is the first project to come out of Reliance's development deal with Pitt's Plan B Productions.

composite image - Kristen and Ashley didn't actually mirror each other's poses like this!
Okay, so I know the boys looked smokin' hot at the Cinema Society and D&G hosted screening of New Moon in NYC last night, but get a load of the leading ladies!
Kristen Stewart and Ashley Green worked it for photographers last night, and even though we're totally team K. Stew, we can't help but notice how amazing Ashley looked too! Which Twilight princess would YOU pick?
